Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill.
Grill each side of the chicken breasts for about 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the outside is golden and slightly charred.
Halfway through cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast to melt.
While the chicken is grilling, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Halve, pit, peel, and slice the avocado.
To assemble the burgers, take two large lettuce leaves, place a grilled chicken breast with melted cheese on top.
Layer with slices of tomato, red onion, and avocado, then top with another two lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious and healthy low-carb grilled chicken burger.
